What else can I help you with?
Digestion occurs through both mechanical and chemical ways what is involved directly in mechanical digestion?
teeth
Is your tongue involved in mechanical or chemical digestion?
The tongue is involved in both mechanical and chemical digestion. It helps break down food into smaller pieces through chewing (mechanical digestion) and it also helps mix food with saliva, which contains enzymes that start breaking down carbohydrates (chemical digestion).
Which organ does mechanical and chemical digestion begin?
mechanical digestion is when you are breaking down food almost by hand. you're breaking it down manually. an example of mechanical digestion is chewing. it begins in your mouth and ends once you swallow.
Are digestive enzymes necessary for mechanical digestion?
No, digestive enzymes are not necessary for mechanical digestion. Mechanical digestion involves the physical breakdown of food into smaller pieces through actions like chewing and churning, while digestive enzymes are responsible for breaking down food chemically into nutrients that can be absorbed by the body during the process of chemical digestion.
Is pepsin chemical or mechanical digestion?
Pepsin is an enzyme that plays a role in chemical digestion. It breaks down proteins into smaller peptides in the stomach.
Where does chemical and mechanical digestion take place?

Does mechanical or chemical digestion take place in the rectum?

Where does most of the mechanical digestion take place?

Was is mechanical digestion?
The very minute food enters the mouth it goes through the digestion process. There are 2 digestive system function processes that take place in our body. These 2 processes are the mechanical digestion and the chemical digestion.
Where do most mechanical digestion takes place?
In the Mouth then the second is the Stomach
What is a mechanical digestion?
Mechanical digestion is a kind of digestion that takes place when food is chewed, mixed, or churned anywhere in your digestive track. two places it takes place are in the stomach and the mouth.
Most mechanical digestion takes place where?
In the Mouth then the second is the Stomach
What are the Organs where mechanical digestion take place?
There is the small intestine, stomach, and the mouth, and that is all that i can think of. Hope this answer helps you people out there looking for three of the organs for mechanical digestion. But if not....... well that sucks for you.
Could chemical digestion take place if mechanical digestion did not occur?
Mechanical digestion, i.e. your body breaking up the food into smaller pieces, is largely meant to speed chemical digestion up. We know that the rate at which the chemical reaction takes place is dependent on four things: the physical state of the reactants involved in the reaction, the temperature at which the reaction takes place, the concentration of the reactants, and the presence of a catalyst. Each influences the rate of reaction in different ways. Mechanical digestion breaks the food into smaller pieces, i.e. changes the physical state. With the larger pieces broken into smaller ones, more surface area is exposed. With greater surface area exposure, chemical digestion can take place much more rapidly. However, if for some reason you could get just huge chunks of food down your throat without chewing it, your stomach still churns (mechanical digestion) and the contractions in your intestines also help to break up food. So technically yes, chemical digestion would take place, but at a much slower and inefficient manner.
Where is the site of digestion?
In humans most mechanical digestion takes place in the mouth through chewing.
